Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadillas

Thursday, December 27, 2012

First of all, I have to tell you that Chicken Legs LOVED these quesadillas. He raved about them the whole time he was eating them. They have all the flavors of a hamburger without having to break out the grill. To save time, I browned the meat over the weekend so all I had to do was assemble the quesadillas after work. These took no time to make. Fill these with your favorite burger toppings. We used bacon, pickles, tomatoes and some spicy ranch dressing. They were delicious! Chicken Legs has requested these for dinner again this week.

In a large skillet, sprinkle ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and chili powder. Brown the meat and drain fat. Set aside.

Assemble the quesadilla. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray pan with cooking spray.

Lay tortilla on a flat surface. Cover the torilla with an even layer of cheese. Top one half of tortilla with hamburger meat, bacon, tomatoes and pickles. Drizzle Ranch dressing over meat. Place tortilla in skillet. Cook for 1 minute, until cheese starts to melt. Fold in half - cheese side of tortilla over on meat. Cook for 2 minutes more, flipping until each side is golden and crisp. Remove, cut into 3 pieces.
